5 Minute Fix: Antique Key Art
Hey Friends! Popping in to share a ridiculously quick and easy project for you! It seriously took longer for my glue gun to heat up than it did to complete this project! That’s a win in my book! I found some fabulous antique style keys at Michael’s in the $1.50 bin a few months ago. […]

The Art of Simplicity
In a world of Pinterest, glossy magazines, and blogs galore, it’s easy to feel like every project you do should be perfect and “pin worthy”. However, sometimes the simplest projects are the ones that bring the biggest smiles. I was planning on building a giant bulletin board or frames to display the kids’ artwork over […]
